We had a wonderful multi-generational family stay at this beautiful property! The house was clean, views were lovely, there was plenty of space to gather, and it's just a short drive to downtown Charlevoix. Carine was communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The only issue was that the stove range made a clicking noise for several minutes after the burners were turned off. Overall, a great place for a family getaway!

The property is impeccably maintained, inside and out, and has everything you need for a wonderful weekend at the lake!The house is a very short 5 min drive from downtown Charlevoix, and served our two families perfectly as a home base for the weekend.I would highly suggest a stay at this property if it is available to you!
